“What’s So Cool About Manufacturing” Video Contest VOTING BEGINS MARCH 20th!! Saint Michael the Archangel School was invited to participate in the annual “What’s So Cool About Manufacturing” video contest created by the Manufacturers Resource Center in Allentown, PA. Created by the Manufacturers Resource Center (MRC) in Allentown, PA in 2013, the “What’s So Cool About Manufacturing” contests draw entries from teams across Pennsylvania. The teams of students and teacher coaches receive camera equipment, software, and professional guidance as they learn to script, record, and edit their video stories. The contest’s objective is to change students’ perceptions about manufacturing careers. This contest invites students to explore cool manufacturing careers and produce profiles of companies throughout Pennsylvania. Judges in each regional contest bestow a variety of awards, and each contest features an online vote at WhatsSoCool.org for its Viewers Choice Award. The company we were assigned to is IMET Engineering Corporation located to Southampton, Pa. Tom Krol is their President & CEO. Our SMA Teacher Team Leader is Mrs. Ounjian who along with our student team of Rylee Joyce – Savanna Hayden – Andrea Duran – Jacquline Swen – Paul Sales – Pete Hoffman – James O’Hara visited IMET in early December. The students interviewed employees and recorded footage of the interviews and facility. Since then they have worked long days (5:00 PM in some cases) on their commercial submitting drafts and receiving critiques. The students were also required to create an outreach plan to market their commercial and promote it to prospective voters. Feedback on the outreach plan was received from several sources including PBS. Winner will be announced on April 8th. Congrats to the team on a marvelous job representing SMA School! Online voting is March 20 – March 22 To vote go to https://www.whatssocool.org/contests/philly/ or go our school website www.sma-pa.org and click on “What’s Cool” link to vote there. TY! God's light.

An Irish Prayer May God give you…… For every storm, a rainbow For every tear, a smile For every care, a promise And a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, A faithful friend to share, For every sigh, a sweet song. And an answer for each prayer. God of our ancestors. Give us the strength and courage of St Patrick, so we may bring the love and joy of your kingdom to all the world. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. All the staff of St Mike’s wishes you and your family a very happy St Patrick’s Day!

SMA School will be a STREAM: Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, & Math School 2019/2020 STREAM is an extension of STEM. It is an acronym for Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts, and Math. (As a faith based Catholic School Religion is taught throughout the curriculum and across all subjects!) Our teachers begin in servicing this April! • What is STEM Education? What is STEM Education? STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications. • Awesome News! New STEM Pilot Program coming to St Mike's!! Awesome News! I just received a phone call from Sister Edwards (Head of Curriculum for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia). She informed me we are picked to be part of a new AOP STEM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Math) Pilot Program. Teacher training, flexible scheduling, etc.. Only two Catholic schools in Bucks County will have it. and St Mike's will be one of them! God's light, Mr. "D".
